Ebon Venus by Lewis H. Latimer

*in addition to poetry, Latimer was a well-respected engineer and draftsman. His work made the light bulb and telephone possible. Without Latimer, our world would be very different. More on Latimer’s achievements can be found at the link posted at the bottom of this page.

In addition to engineering, Latimer taught English to new immigrants and also wrote plays and poetry. In the poem below, he writes of his love for a woman.
